Pulp - Common People

Sorry nostalgia has taken over me with this one.  Such a feel good song.  The music makes me smile, the video makes me smile, it just makes me smile.  I dare you to listen again and it not bring a little happiness into your day.  Just looking at Jarvis Cocker is enough to make my life better.  I will post something more contemporary next I promise!

Daft Punk - Around the World

I can't believe I haven't added this tune before now.  The rhythm and beat is spot on.  Yes it's repetitive, but that seems to make it even better.  I have made a number of sound systems cut out because I've had this up too loud.  Daft Punk are as close as we get to a modern day Kraftwerk.   This video is entertaining too, and must have taken a lot of choreography, in fact I did wonder by the jerky movement if they danced to the music at a slower speed, then it was sped up??  Whatever they've done it works for me!

Pure Genius - Putting on the Ritz

You'll have to excuse me for adding a musical number to my blog, but this is genius and Fred Astaire's dancing and routine in this clip are outstanding!!

JCB Song - Nizlopi

Beautiful song and a great video!  Sit there and let it soak in.  Watch the video closely as it follows the song, especially the dad when he see's the different beasties.  I bought their album a couple of years back which I liked, its raw and not over produced.  I was hoping to see them perform but I think they may have disappeared forever now.

Owl City - Fireflies

This shouldn't be here I know, but I can't help it!  It makes me smile.  Alll I know is after turning this off as rubbish ten times in the past, I caught myself tapping to it on the radio a few days ago.  Since then I'm hooked.  The video is brilliant tho!

The Verve - Lucky Man / Bittersweet Symphony

If there was ever a song I wish I could have written it would be this one.  I love the tone of this too.  I was trying to work out where the video was shot for this.  My best guess is Dubai because of the construction going on in the background.  Thats only a guess mind.



Bittersweet symphony is a fantastic track, with the excellent violins bringing quality and depth to the tune.  Better still is this video, watch it, it's excellent.
